The rug may work for you and may be what you are looking for. It is likely durable, and good for high traffic areas. However, it isn't soft and would not be good for children spending a lot of time on the floor. However, my biggest concern is that I was specifically looking for a hemp rug, so when I saw this I thought I had found the rug, the style, and the color I was looking for. When I received it, however, I discovered it is actually made of jute. These are 2 totally different materials. When I went back to the Great Offer Stock description, I saw that it was actually described as jute, despite the fact that they use "hemp" in the title. Please remove reference to hemp with this product so customers can be adequately informed.
